   Ok, but if I want to leave this option unchanged, and enable php only for one user. How can I get this?

7. 7 leafnode on Oct 28th, 2010 said:

   You can add next entry in config, enabling the php engine just for this user. Whole block would look like this:

   <IfModule mod_userdir.c>
       <Directory /home/*/public_html>
           php_admin_value engine Off
       </Directory>
       <Directory /home/your_user_name/public_html>
           php_admin_value engine On
       </Directory>
   </IfModule>
   

   This should work. If it’s not, drop me a comment and I’ll test it thoroughly.

   Thanks, it helped me. However, it didn’t work immediately. I figured out a bit later that I had to delete the browser cache too.

    Unfortunately it took a lot more than 2 minutes for me to find this site, but luckily I found it at last. Thanks a lot! – Funny thing that I have never seen this documented elsewhere…

23. 23 Adrie on Aug 10th, 2011 said:

    Can I enable php as non-super user, of do I need admin support?

24. 24 leafnode on Aug 10th, 2011 said:

    @Adrie: there is possibility to enable PHP via .htaccess file, but only if admin allowed you to do so in main Apache config file.
